Switching to New Best Moves

[Ander]

Haven't used any of my five, so here are two, with the other three being on hold.


Gunslinger

Inspired by his proficiency with a firearm, Bardock adapted the basic principles into a technique. This attack comes in one of two forms: pistol, or shotgun. For “pistol,” Bardock simply calls out ‘pistol’ and forms a hand in the shape of a gun, and runs energy to the tip of his index finger, ‘firing’ it by curling his thumb like a trigger and expelling a small bullet of energy. In this form, the attack is faster and can be used quickly and repeatedly, but doesn’t pack as much punch. For “shotgun,” he calls out ‘shotgun’ and forms a hand into a fist, and wraps the other hand around his wrist. The second hand pumps the arm as if it was the actual firearm, and a large, powerful shell of ki is fired from the fist. The arm must be pumped after every shell in order to “reload.” In this form, the attack is much stronger, but cannot be used in rapid succession, as it takes time for the large amount of energy required to be gathered.


Detonator

Bardock forms a sphere of energy and throws it into the air, leaving his hand open after releasing. Once Bar closes the hand from which it was fired into a fist, the energy sphere will stop in its tracks, becoming a bomb. At any time after the ball has stopped, when the fighter snaps his fingers, it will explode like a remote mine. Multiple ki bombs can be used, although Bardock must manage each attack in the order of succession, and also the hand from which they were fired. For example, if three bombs were launched from his left hand, he would have to stop each one individually by closing his left hand three times, and they would explode one by one each time he snapped his fingers. If he launched one from his left hand and one from his right hand, the left hand would control one and the right hand would control the other. It can become very tricky the more he uses at once, so it is best used as a singular surprise attack. The two downsides are that he cannot control the bombs once they leave his hand, so he must use careful speed and aim, and they will also explode upon touching anything, rendering the delayed detonation effect useless.
